Demonic Fragments is a pioneering work in the realm of memetic fiction, a genre that draws inspiration from the digital and social media landscape to capture the intricate, interconnected nature of our contemporary world. This collection of AI-generated short stories, created using the GPT-3.5 model on ChatGPT, marks an innovative attempt at delving into this emerging literary domain.
The narrative follows the adventures of Cthulhu, an ancient god exploring the often absurd and bewildering world of social media, as he becomes the subject of sensationalized clickbait stories and navigates the complex terrain of online interactions. Told through a series of interconnected short stories, the book mirrors the logics of digital media, blending cosmic horror, humor, and social commentary to emulate the rapid consumption and dissemination of information in the age of the internet.
In Demonic Fragments, Juha Raipola presents a critical examination of our digital culture and its profound, often disquieting impact on the ways we create and consume narratives. By employing AI-generated text, Raipola highlights the extent to which technology has permeated our lives, shaping our understanding of stories and the world around us. Through this unique combination of AI and human collaboration, Raipola encourages readers to contemplate the complexities of our evolving relationship with technology and the narratives it generates.
